The view of Lake McDonald with the mountains in the background is my new iPhone wallpaper. That way I can take it with me.

Apgar is the unusual name of the campground village on the edge of Lake McDonald where we started climbing the Going-To-The-Sun Road through Glacier National Park.

If traffic stopped we could take a shower in this roadside waterfall.

Many Glacier Hotel sits at the edge of a lake with mountains and glaciers in the background. Take a boat across and hike all day; return at evening for a great dinner in the hotel dining room.

Dreaming, we have only a short stay here before continuing on to East Glacier Hotel at the southeast edge of Glacier Park.
